An Isle of Wight-born goalkeeper has secured a move to League One side Blackpool FC.

Stuart Moore, the brother of Sheffield United stopper Simon, has signed on a contract until the end of the season.

He makes the move having spent a few months at National League side Wealdstone.

The 26-year-old, from Sandown, has been training with the Seasiders in recent weeks.

He will provide competition for current number one and club captain, Chris Maxwell.

Stuart Moore told Blackpool FC's website:

“I’m delighted to be here and can’t wait to get going.

"We’ve got a great goalkeeping group here and hopefully I can add to that. I’m here to work hard every day and push the others for a place in the squad.”  

Manager, Neil Critchley, said:

“We’ve been able to take a look at Stuart closely, from both a goalkeeping and character perspective, and we’ve been impressed with him.

"The goalkeeping department is an area we’ve been looking to strengthen and we feel Stuart will be a valuable addition between now and the end of the season.”

Stuart has also had stints with the likes of Peterborough United, Luton Town, Swindon Town and MK Dons.
